Collectibles vs Traditional Assets

Apex 1000 Index Tracks secondary-market trades of rare whisky casks and bottles. Returns are concentrated in a small number of blue-chip distilleries and vintages, so the index average can overstate what a typical bottle achieves.

HAGI Top Index Tracks museum-grade investment cars. Values are highly sensitive to provenance, mileage, and originality — two examples of the same model can diverge sharply in price.

Watch Charts Index Tracks resale prices of sought-after references. Liquidity has improved with online marketplaces, but bid-ask spreads stay wide for the rarest pieces.

Artprice Global Index Aggregates auction results worldwide. Returns are skewed by a handful of blue-chip artists and can swing significantly from year to year.

MSCI World Tracks large- and mid-cap stocks across developed markets. Unlike collectibles, it offers daily liquidity and a steady dividend income stream.

Metro Average Reflects metro-level price appreciation only. Actual investor returns are typically lower after stamp duty, maintenance, and vacancy periods are factored in.
